“Luma took on our work with a highly-intensive level of commitment and went the extra mile to identify additional areas we needed to focus on as we developed our strategic plan. Every deliverable presented got us to the next level. John was extremely credible, always well-prepared and we trust him to provide the information and guidance we need to make and defend strategic decisions.”

Diana Dollar, Executive Director at The Prosperity Agenda

“We’ve worked with Luma Consulting on projects ranging from strategic planning to board development to work plan process improvement. Each project had its own issues including an evolving perception of the challenges we were trying to solve and differing views on the best way to solve them. Luma impressed us, not only with their deep technical knowledge, but also their nimble approach and focus on guiding stakeholders through the process. They’re great at listening and simplifying, which really helped us move forward as an organization.”

Paola Maranan, Executive Director at Children’s Alliance

John brought new eyes to our work and guided us through the process of assessing the landscape and our place in it, and determining the best approach to engage stakeholder communities and donors. What we got in John was a partner who is smart and quick and who can simplify complex challenges. He’s especially skilled at leading organizations through change and adapts his communication style to his audience, being patient and respectful but appropriately assertive when necessary.”
